Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) forecasts that the Riksbank will maintain its policy rate at 1.75% for the sixth straight meeting. The bank is also expected to push back against market pricing that anticipates a 25 basis point rate hike.
The cautious stance from the Riksbank is likely to weigh on the Swedish Krona, according to BBH. The central bank's reluctance to signal tighter policy contrasts with market expectations, potentially creating downward pressure on the currency.
